People will always want or need to go places. This overall desire to travel is shared by average citizens and corporate travelers alike. Americans have a lot more disposable income than ever before and are spending it on travel. Thanks to advancements in technology and an ever-growing global economy, corporate travel continues to be a travel industry mainstay. So, whether it's for business or pleasure - to a business conference, to spend time with family over the holidays, or to enjoy some much-deserved rest and relaxation - the travel industry continues to enjoy robust activity.
The travel industry is huge, contributing more than $10 trillion (US dollars) to the global economy annually. At almost 9% of America's total gross domestic product (GDP), the travel and tourism industry represents a significant portion of the overall economy. Research by the Travel Industry Association of America (TIA) indicates that the travel and tourism industry generates $1.3 trillion in economic activity in the US every year; that is equivalent to about $3.4 billion per day.
A travel business can distinguish themselves by being able to provide services for all of a traveler's needs, particularly those with corporate or luxury/upscale travel needs. Consumers have come to want authenticity, personalization, and on-demand functionality in their travel experiences. In addition to booking airlines and reserving hotel rooms, a professional travel business may offer many services in providing one-stop shopping for all travel arrangements.
